we recently purchased a gps and are now having lots of fun playing with it while we should be driving. even the kids in the back seat are clamoring for us to hang it on the front window so they can see it too.

i was all ready to say goodbye google maps and live and die by the gps directions until early last week when we had a few cloudy days. that’s right, a few clouds and all the sudden the gps can’t find any satellites and had i been depending upon it for directions i would have been equally blind.

rain and clouds don’t mess with my satellite television. guess i need a two foot diameter dish hooked up to my gps to keep me from getting lost in the clouds.
